Maybe it's not the best looking 250, but it's by far the most
expensive. That was the point. And anyone who thinks that ropey old
mid 70s RRs have "class" is a laving rucking foonatic. Or a publican.
However, feel free to suggest which car I could better use, and which
might be more likely to piss off this pillock if I paraded it up and
down the street in front of his house.
Actually, I could prolly just buy a tatty Shadow, tint the windows
really dark, lower it and put wide wheels and blue neon underneath. I
think that would do it, and it would be a lot cheaper than any
prancing horse. |

I never said they did. I was just coming up with an example that
could best piss off the misguided souls who feel strongly about it,
and who cling to the belief that their knackered, tatty old RRs are
somehow classy, even if they did only cost the said misguided souls
five or ten grand. |

ITYF that most of that class of RR driver have long since moved on to
Spirits or Mulsannes.

*shudder*
That is *horrible*.
Mind you, that's what happens when you give a chav some cash.
However..... the PPC 'track day Roller' is an awesome idea.

Whatever heap of rubbish you currently drive. Feel free to drive up and
down the road outside my house if you like, my house is set far enough
back from the road, I can't see it. >> Stay informed about: Rolls Royce Silver Shadow/Spur/Sprit advice |

That, I doubt - at least in my case.
